AJ puts up 40, but it isn't enough to keep "Pace" with the Nets!

Despite College of Charleston alum Anthony Johnson putting 40-points on the board and Jermaine O'Neal adding 21-points for the Indiana Pacers, they still found a way to let the New Jersey Nets get the best of them in the NBA finals, losing 90 to 96. (The Nets won 4-2 and will play the winner of the Bulls-Heat series.) Vince Carter scored 24-points and his teammate Richard Jefferson led the Nets with 30-points.

It appears Peja Stonjakovic is that important for the success of the Pacers. The two games in which the leading scorer (P.S.) played the Pacers won, since he has sat out with a sore knee-boo-boo, they have lost. (Btw, why does ESPN have the pronunciation PAY-zhuh Stoy-AH-kuh-vitch) behind P.S.'s name?) Regardless, mad props to my main man, and former Cougar, AJ for keeping things as much under control as possible.
